Happy 3rd birthday to you

They say the days are long and the years are short, and man, I totally believe it. I remember holding her when she was a tiny newborn, and it was hard for me to imagine her as a toddler: walking, talking, dancing… and not crying all the time. 😉

Well, I blinked, and here we are.

(from the night of her school’s Christmas show)

“They” say that having a baby is like having half your heart walk around outside your body. It’s much more than that. She’s so wise, like a tiny Buddha, and teaches me so much each day: how to be more patient; how to slow the heck down and appreciate the moment; there’s always time to splash in the puddles, and dance on the beach.

Our lives, and my heart, are so much more full with her here. In so many ways, she feels like she’s always been a part of our family; we were just waiting for her to arrive.

Happy birthday to Liv! You have a three year old – that’s so crazy! Although our girls are born in the same year, mine just turned two in November so I can’t even imagine what her at three will be like!! But ohhhh we’ve just entered the whiney face when you don’t get what you want. Exciting times ahead 😉
